Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
received by the International Bureau on 08 February 201 1 (08.02.201 1 )
An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between
adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae comprising: an interbody device 20 having a plurality of spaced cans 30 connected to each
other by a single flexible bridge 60 and each separated from the other at a medial portion by a predetermined distance to define a plurality of relief portions 38 separating said cans 30 from said bridge 60.
An interbody device 20 foT insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between
adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 1 comprising; a plurality of cans 30 having an upper and lower surface for contacting said adjacent vertebrae and at least one aperture 46 between said upper and lower surfaces for containing bone graft material.
An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 1 comprising: a pair of spaced cans 30 each having an upper and lower surface for contacting
said adjacent vertebrae, and each having an anterior 40 and posterior wall 44 disposed between the upper and lower surfaces.
An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 4 wherein said spaced cans 30 are secured to said bridge 60 along a portion of said anterior wall.
An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 4 wherein said anterior wall 40 is convex along a portion thereof, and wherein said cans 30 are secured to said bridge 60 along the convex portion.
44 An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 4 wherein said anterior wall 40 is concave along a portion thereof, and wherein said cans are secured to said bridge 60 along the concave portion.
An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 1 comprising: a pair of spaced cans 30 each having an anterior wall 40 of a predetermined height, and a bridge 60 having a width less than the height of said anterior walls of said cans.
9. An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 1 comprising: a distal can 30 and a proximal can 30 spaced from one another to define a relief area there between.
10. An interbody device 20 for insertion into a disc space and replacing a disc between adjacent vertebrae or fusing adjacent vertebrae as claimed in claim 1 comprising: a plurality of cans 30 having upper and lower corrugated surfaces 33 for engaging said adjacent vertebrae as said interbody device 20 is positioned in said disc space.
